Results : We had total 50 cases with 70% were aged 1-59 months and 52% of them were male. Thirty-six patients were acyanotic and 14 patients with cyanotic lesions. Wasted patients were 84% and stunted were 74%. Prevalence of undernutrition in children with CHD was 30%, and 24% patient with severe malnutrition. There are only 7 cases (14%) has been done the surgery. Weight was affected more than length in acyanotic (60% vs 48%). But in cyanotic, weight and length affected equally (24% vs 24%). Eleven of 36 (30,5%) acyanotic patients are with undernutrition and 10 of 36 (27,7%) are severe malnutrition. In cyanotic, patients with mild malnutrition and severe malnutrition are equally 3 out of 11 (27,2%).
